Feral Heart

Not necessarily an 'I-need-help' thread, but rather just a question regarding the game.

I was just wondering, but can you get banned for content that is in your character/ group biography? Let's say, cuss-words, insults, or offensive language, etc. Does 'censoring' or placing a 'mature' warning at the top make that okay? I've seen some questionable language in some bios before, censored and uncensored, and was wondering what the mods' idea was on it as well as how heavy the punishment might be.

Thanks, yo!

Okay, it's been way too long since anyone's posted here, and I know I am at fault too. I haven't been on the FH site much at all lately, but I decided to swing by and check a few things, and I got a rather old reply from Draco regarding the activity decline of Talent Seekers and a couple of other things. Not feeling up for a summary, let me just quote her:

Yeah I was afraid of that and expected it. I really wish that Talent Seekers was more active and everyone was happy but the timing is just really bad. I plan on just putting full focus on it when I get internet, because I'm not really rping on FH and I only rp with a few people now. So I'll stay focused on the site and Talent Seekers.

Also I wouldn't worry about the forms too much. I'm just starting over. Once I get internet my entire focus will be on Talent Seekers if I'm not busy with school or something. I wish I could do things for Talent Seekers now but with no internet I'm afraid it's not possible. Anyway, I would just stop with the rping because we're not getting anywhere with just a few posts and with so few people. I would also suggest that even once we get internet and all to just wait before we even start the rp and wait till we get more members, and I mean active members, not people who stick around for a short while then suddenly stop. I didn't want to be but I'm afraid we're going to have to be much stricter on that rule.

So once again we have to start all over e.e I know you guys are probably sick of it, I'm sorry, but this rp isn't getting anywhere and I can't really start from the middle. I mean everything will still be the same, I just mean start the rp over. I don't know, I have to think more about it. Anyway tell Aster and Tomas this and if they want they can quit, I won't blame any of you if you guys do considering how horribly Talent Seekers has been doing lately. But I don't really want to deal with depression and all that, rps is supposed to be fun and enjoyable, I can understand it's upsetting when nothing is happening but I want everyone in goodspirits.

I'll try my best, we have our house and all X3 but we don't have the money for cable and all that yet. Just wish me luck and hopefully we'll get internet soon. Do your best Wolfy, and thank you for sticking around for so long. I hope you'll continue to do so.

Now, before we all hang our heads and just give up, I have good news ( yeah, 'all' as in Aster, Tomas, and myself ). And I will be brutally honest with both you and me; I hadn't even started the TS website because I was extremely busy, and even unsure that the RP would continue on, so I didn't want to devote my time to something that would just end up failing right after. Now, how is that good news? Well, that part wasn't but this is:

I made the site.

Yeah, I did just a few minutes ago, and so it ain't much, but I will be working on it now trying to get at least the threads open and the character pages as well as the OP (information, rules, etc.). But, I don't think I can work on much for the rest of the weekend, and maybe not much into next week because I've still got lots of school work to do, but now that I actually sat down and registered the url and such, I think I'll have some more motivation to come back and work on it. If not, someone just spam my dA and tell me to get my -Removed by Moderator- together.

Now, regarding the PM I got from Draco, I think she's right. I don't know about completely starting over the RP as from, like, being there day 1 and all that, but maybe restarting what's happened so far. I don't know, we'll figure that out later.  I think, though, we shouldn't do anything besides OOC posts until we get some new, active, and longterm members. I hope both you guys, Aster and Tomas, are still willing to stick with the RP, but if not, both Draco and myself understand. I know Aster still comes around, but I haven't seen Tomas around the FH forum much, but I still talk with him a little bit on dA, so I can contact him there if need be. But I won't go chasing down your butts if you don't want to stay with the RP. I have a little bit of doubt myself, but I'm not going to give up. Not yet.

So, that means we need to advertise for new members. Somehow. And I don't think just putting an advertisement out somewhere on the forum will get us much members- or at least members that will stay for awhile so we can get some good RP in- but maybe reaching out to certain members we all know that might be interested in. I could do some of that, but we won't have to do that just yet. Maybe after I finish the site, we can go recruit members.

Now, I have  a feeling I won't be back to the thread for awhile, but I'll try to come around and I'll try to work on the site. I might swing by to review some posts, but I may not post because I can't stay on the computer. I don't know, we'll see.

I'll keep you guys updated on how things are going when I can.

EDIT: And no, I'm sorry I won't be posting the site url just yet. It's way to unfinished, and I'd rather not have anyone join/judge/look at it until I have at least some material up. And I don't want to have someone keep going back to it and realize I've done close to nothing over a period of time. I work very sporadically and when I have time; in chunks. Please understand, thanks.

Oh.. I didn't know you felt that way, Aster, I'm sorry. Of course I am super glad to have you still coming back, and Tomas as well! ...I am just worried that everything will turn into OOC. And, I am unsure about it, but we could potentially have the thread removed if the thread just becomes OOC. I don't know, but I am just worried.

I'm sorry to hear that you no longer feel like you can post here... is there anything we can do to help? Maybe... we can take the RP somewhere else? Would a change of scenery help? If everyone's up to it, I'll try to devote a lot more of my time to the site and see if we can transfer the RP to there. Maybe recruit some more here, and tell them to go to the website once I can get it done. Good news, I have been able to get all the applications, from Tomas' to Draco's, to Buio's and Aster's and mine. And I think one more, I forget who... not sure if Buio and anyone else is every going to come back; maybe I can PM them to see if they are still interested. And if everyone's alright with it, including Draco, we can see to having the actual TS RP on the site. It might change things around a bit, and maybe get some inspiration and creativity flowing? We could start over, or change the turns to switch things up, if everyone's really stuck...

I don't know, I'm just throwing some ideas out there. Do you two have any suggestions as to what we could do? I love you guys, and I love to always come back to have people to talk to here, but I love the RP as well, and I would hate to see it fizzle out...

T-T

((x3 Yay, I'm glad I could help! c: I'll see to getting the site together, and everything.~ So far, I only have the OP post sent to me by WhiteLightHeart, and I did ask nicely if she could send the character applications as well (she said if there were any other posts she could dig up for me), but she hasn't replied back yet. It's understandable, as a staff member she's probably busy, so I'll give her a little bit longer before I ask again... ^^''

Alright, I'll send the OP quoted to you both ways in a little; and I'll also be sending you some questions, examples, etc. about the site, because of course I want to make sure you'll be alright with everything! First off, I know I'll be using forumotion, as it's my favorite forum-based site creator. I'll look through a couple cool themes, and send you the previews of them and see which one you like best.~

I'm so excited, I get to do something, yay!

@Everyone, if you guys have any suggestions for the site, go ahead and post them here. ^^ I'm open for ideas, as I haven't exactly made a forum RP site, like the link you had, Aster, but more of FH pack websites. Slightly different, so if you guys have any pointers I'd be glad to hear them!

P.S. In the meantime, though, that doesn't mean we have to pause RP! We have to make sure we keep creativity at least somewhere on this thread, or else recruiting, making a site, and all that won't actually be any help... ._.'' So, let's try to keep up some RP, yes? ^^''))
